Are you ready for the first All-Stars Power of Veto comp of the season? No? Um. Well. Tough.
I'll be updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh this page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!
If you don't know who your hamster is in the blog pool, the list can be found at this post.
Grab your snacks -- I suggest bananas and other fruits -- and let's watch the show!
I'll just twiddle my thumbs through the "Previously on" segment and thank goodness there hasn't been a lot of previous! They're already pointing out old school/new school. Sigh.
If I had my way the phrase "at the end of the day" would become a misdemeanor crime.
Kevin tells us he needs to put his feelings in a box and fight to stay in the game. Cody tells us he wants to work with Kevin ... which, of course, means he wants Keesha out. He does try to pep talk Kevin a bit.
Janelle thinks, although she likes Keesha, that she and Kaysar need to lay low. I personally doubt those two could ever stay low enough to be off the radar.
Keesha and Cody talk. Cody denies that she's his target and tells her she is just on the block because they hadn't talked much. Keesha knows she's the target.
Kaysar talks to Da'vonne about how he's from Iraq and first appeared on the show when the US was at war with Iraq. He said he knew people were prejudging him. He tells us he doesn't want his son to grow up in a world like that. A big change from last year!
Tyler tells us he didn't want to jump into a bunch of alliances because that was his downfall last time. Sure enough, he jumps into a whole bunch of deals.
Enzo wants to work with Cody and be in a final two. Cody feels loyal to Nicole F, but more loyal to Enzo.
They haven't had the yard and miss it. Ian says he misses the hammock. Then he mentions that he's on the spectrum. When he was last on the show it bothered him that he did an online search of himself and saw all the comments about autism. So, we have two big conversations tonight -- race and autism.
Back to game, Kevin is SO worried. He tries to campaign. He tries to get Enzo to promise to save him if he plays and wins veto. Enzo won't commit. He asks Ian if he would back him up in a Houseguest Choice. Ian doesn't commit. And on and on.
Veto player pick time. Cody randomly picks Tyler. Kevin gets HG Choice and goes for Enzo, Keesha gets Ian.
POV Comp time -- Fruits and vegetables with saddles on bananas, BB Peleton machine, 90 reps, stack fruits on back. Stack the most produce in the fastest time. 30 minutes deadline. Cody, then Ian timeout stacking over 90 seconds. Enzo enters his score of 18 with a few minutes left in the deadline. Kevin timed out with his 90 seconds of stacking.
ENZO wins the golden Power of Veto!
Ian tells us that he trusts Nicole F the most in the game -- he's known her for about five years and they're the only two winners in the house. They make a final two deal with a pinky swear. Nicole thinks of him as a back-up plan to Cody. Hmm.
Kevin is hoping Enzo will save him because he chose him to play. When he approaches Enzo, Enzo says he will have to talk to Cody. So now Kevin thinks he will have to do anything he can to convince Cody. Cody is reluctant as he would have to come up with yet another nominee. He isn't receptive but Kevin makes some promises. So, we get some false promises.
Bayleigh and Da'vonne decide to work together. Enzo catches Nicole F and Ian talking game and runs to report to Cody. He tries to tell Cody not to trust them. Cody already doesn't trust Ian, so Cody says that he might have Enzo use the veto and put Ian on the block. Or, so the editing tells us.
Time for the veto meeting! Enzo does NOT use the veto. Keesha and Kevin remain on the block.
